If Richard's paternal grandparents had never escaped from Poland to England, and his maternal grandparents hadn't have spent so much time in the workhouse, then he wouldn't be here. Their tragedy gave him the chance to live. As a child abused by a failed government scheme. As a war hero. As a man who had lived in more countries than he had toes on his right foot. He would live to make his ancestors proud.
